Osceola County Job Fair at OHP Nov. 10

At a time when many businesses are struggling to fill open positions in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, Osceola County’s Job Fair at the Osceola Heritage Park Events Center is a prime opportunity for job seekers and employers to connect.

Since the inaugural event in 2017, in the wake of Hurricane Maria evacuees coming to the area, the County’s job fairs, coordinated by the Housing and Community Services Department, have connected thousands of people with potential employers.

This year’s event is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 10 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. With close to 30 employers signed up, it is an excellent opportunity to find a job, officials said, noting there is still room for more employers to participate.

“The pandemic has created employment and career opportunities for employees and employers. The County has been very successful in connecting people and jobs – with some hired on the spot, and others lining up interviews at a later date,” said Osceola County Commission Chairman Brandon Arrington. “Connecting employers and job-seekers is an excellent way to serve those residents who need a job, or who are looking to improve their current employment situation – while also helping local companies fill gaps in their staffing.”

Companies in the hospitality industry, to professional services to health care, to construction are scheduled to participate. Any other employers interested in participating in the job fair should call the Osceola County Housing and Community Services Department at 407-742-8423.
